NewHerb - Sasser

The recent Sasser worm infected all the computers in her sorority except her lone iBook.

I'm *not* saying that I don't believe you, but I find it sad that in an environment where broadband is assumedly commonplace (or are sorority/frat houses not wired), that not a single person would have automatic updates running on their windows machines, or that not one of them would have heard about the whole ordeal and applied the patch manually (6 clicks of the mouse as I mentally count them).

Of course, it's also sad that it is necessary for that to be the case, but given that it is the case, it's disheartening that none of them realized their situation (living in a windows world) and took the preventive measures then, or took the precaution to use a hardware firewall or turn on windows's hardware firewall.
